concept

Focusing research on melting and transformation: baroque and rococo patterns, black ink, water, splashes, melting cakes, larvae in progression and mutation, and artists like Lionel Esteve or Cristina Lei Rodriguez. Looking to create an overall feeling of clothes that, in terms of pattern, mix together with a graphic impact, creating a kind of unity and repetition. Elise weaved panels of fabric with her designs and pattern already inside, to try and stitch as little as possible in order to give a fluid, intertwining feeling. The jacket through to the trousers that are connected to the shirt that continues into the jacket.
